    DS came home in 0000 that he was too long for (oops!) but was a long skinny bub until...no wait, still is!
    the 000 were the right length but coulda fitted another bub in with him width wise, so after he was born we bought some 0000 with no feet and cut the feet out of the ones we had with feet in them and he just wore booties or socks.

    0000 - for a 3.79kg bub coming home from hospy at six days old

    but due to heatwave conditions, and how much she responded to swaddling, she was in a nappy and singlet and muslin wrap, more than clothing (onesies etc).

    i thought at the time, if i had another bub, i would keep the tiniest clothing, UNWASHED, TAGS KEPT ON, RECEIPTS NEARBY, so that if your bub was bigger than you expected, it would not be hard to at the very least, exchange the clothing for bigger sizes, or get your money refunded.

    easier to take tags off, wash them, once bubs is arrived (the tiny stuff), once you know their size
    rather than prep it all, with the chance you may not use it.

    maybe it wouldn't bother most mums, but i had to be frugal, so i thought this way.

    DD1 00000 but they were quite baggy came home at 2.1kg
    DD2 00000 fit a bit better than DD1, but any pants in 00000 fell off because she had no waist due to growth restriction, came home at 2.45kg
